Chickens For Checkups

Need medical care? Heed the advice of Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sue Lowden, who has said that Americans don't really need health insurance - they should barter with their doctors for care. Write her with your ailment and what you'll trade - say, 50 bushels of barley to take care of your gout - and Chickens for Checkups will make sure she gets it. It's the old-timey way!

I Give Thanks — YES! Magazine

Kathryn Mostow is a singer-songwriter living in Fort Collins, Colorado. She and Mona Maser, a local filmmaker, shot this music video on location around Fort Collins and in the cohousing community where Mostow lives. Mostow says she hopes the video will "inspire people who would like to make a difference, and to bolster and support those folks who are already out in the world, doing good work, making positive change one day at a time."

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace , love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:? "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Imagine

Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
